In 2013 the Russian Embassy is sacked by militants in Libya; at CIA headquarters, Mr. Bradfield instructs his colleague to go to Moscow and wake up a group of sleepers.

A human rights activist is assumed dead after a car explosion following claims of corruption; a blogger captured the explosion on video and looks to sell the footage to news outlets; Bradfield discovers a link between the recent tragedies.

Ivan Zhyravlev meets Konstantin Mishin, who restores the video of Asmolov's kidnapping and looks to publish it online; the video causes a storm on social media.

Inspector Gazaryan shares his suspicions with Andrey that information was leaked by somebody working in the FSB during the process of the investigation.

Andrey realizes that the gas contract of Energy Corporation with China is the target of the multiway operation in which the Foreign Ministry -- and possibly other spies at the highest level -- is involved.

Andrey finds information on the sleepers and reveals the ties between the agents: each is connected with the departed Ruzheinikov who taught at MGIMO; Andrey asks Nefedov for permission to detain the suspects.
